Would you still go to T if something awful had happened earlier?

depending on what happened (you need not say here), it might be helpful to spend some time with someone who will not judge, who knows you well, who desires your good. pls take care of yourself

I would go because I'd want my T to comfort me, unless I absolutely needed to be at home to deal with what happened. I hope you're all right!

I agree, may be something you could process with T, but depending on what it is, you may need to stay with whomever was effected by he awful event.

It would depend on what happened. I can think of a lot of circumstances where going to T that day would help.

I probably would go. But don't the therapist I see that, she will think it means I am attached.

I would go if at all possible to work through the crisis. If a family member, friend, or client needed me, I would cancel to be with them. Hope you are okay.

Yes, I would go...in fact, have done so. It helped to have someone just be present with me and let me feel whatever I was feeling. Hope everything is okay.

For sure.. Especially if nobody needed me to be there for them right at that moment.

Were you afraid to tell your T what is upsetting you so much? I'm sorry you're in such pain. It sounds like your session didn't help much.

I cried for most of it and curled into a ball, she kept asking what was wrong but I just couldn't say it out loud but at least by the time I got home nobody could tell I'd been upset today. Thanks Rainbow

glad you went.. i can't count on just two hands the numerous times I've gone after something bad has happened...

in fact, usually, this is when I want to go more.

hope you feel better soon!

I don't like my T or anyone else to see me vulnerable. But I'm not supposed to cry at work and I can't cry at home so when I was on my way to T the tears came and I couldn't stop them when I got there

This has happened to me twice so far, and I still went. I just never told my T about it. Still haven't, actually. Are you glad you went though? Help at all?

Did your T know something was up when you went? I still feel really alone with this so I don't think it did really. Did it help you?

History shows that if something awful happened, I would break with my T but go back to her some months later.
